Hotel Overview: Hatta Sedr Trailers Resort

An article by globetrottingmemories

On the banks of the Hatta dam, Hatta Sedr Trailers Resort brings the first-ever trailer hotel concept to the region, featuring repurposed trailers that offer a unique boutique hospitality experience each with its own private terrace, and barbeque.

At Sedr Trailers Resort you can access a common area equipped with a fire pit and barbeque facilities or head to the viewing deck to enjoy an uninterrupted view of the charming dam and surrounding mountains.

The property houses a restaurant that sells breakfast, lunch, and dinner among things like materials for BBQ, such as coal, gas and other things needed in order for you to start your own BBQ. Along with the essential materials, you could also purchase raw meats and vegetables.

Note: Make sure to bring along plates, cutleries, and other essentials in order for you to set up your meals as the property does NOT provide any of these basic necessities. Think of it as if you were going camping and need to bring all of the essentials in order to survive. However, in this case, you are “glamping” in a trailer that provides a nice bed, toilet, and a shower. (hence its a 2-star “hotel”)

We had brought our own supplies such as coal, groceries, plates, cutleries, napkins, spices for the meats, water.
